Complete the look

Made with unpasteurised milk, from herds grazing the wildflower-rich high pastures above the snow-line in the Vaud Alpes.

The season is only four months long. Until the snows return in September, 68 mountainside chalets are occupied by L’Etivaz producers. They heat their milk over wood fires in giant copper cauldrons, their sides blackened with ash. The open fires condition the atmosphere of the chalet, imbuing the curds with a distinctive smoky quality.

A cheese that is rich in a range of flavours that can encompass tropical fruit, meaty bacon, nutmeg and mouth-watering salinity all at once. One to try, and fall in love with.

Switzerland, Canton de Vaud.

Caring for your Cheese

Keep cut cheeses wrapped in wax paper. Do not use cling film as this makes the cheese sweat.
Store cheese in the warmest part of your fridge. The salad drawer is quite ideal.
Artisanal cheese and mould are natural companions. Simply trim the surface mould before serving.
Always bring cheese to room temperature before serving. In standard temperatures, an hour out of the fridge prior to serving, is ideal.
